Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The genome is the complete set of genetic material (DNA) in an organism, including all of its genes. The other options are not equivalent to the complete set of genetic material. The proteome refers to the entire set of proteins produced by an organism. A DNA library is a collection of DNA fragments from a single organism or a group of organisms that can be used for research purposes. A probe is a small, labeled piece of DNA or RNA that is used to locate a specific DNA sequence. The transcriptome refers to the complete set of RNA molecules produced by an organism.
